The past coupe days I've popped in there from time to time and noticed that at what might be considered peak times there's only maybe between 15-20 people there.
At the same time this forum always has 70 + in it.
What's it been, one year since the split?
We win, they all come here now.
Kinda funny looking back at why it happened.

Haven't seen that many on in awhile. Recent Visitors, 38
However, you are right, OOT has died. The worst part about the 15 people who lurk, is they post crappy sh[/b]it, with crappy sh[b]it coating. I can't even read some of the mindless stuff that goes on there.
Hmmm, I think I just explained the current situation with GayGCN, proof and his socks, and a few others not to be named.
On a side note, my sister saw a play the other day, and it involved having a dead goat on stage. Just sayin'

I was actually talking during the day. (9am -4:00PM EST)
Dead goats make me sad.

I wasn't here back then so what did happen?
I happened (see sig)
oh yeah, and IRC, more recently. That was the last lifeboat for the Troll Kings.

Forum History Time!
Do you have what it takes to post in the OOT forum?
Note: This is when FFXI-ers first started entering the OOOT en mass.
Please be nice to the new posters
New Solution
Note: This thread contained the first usage of the term "Sandbox" to describe the new OOT forum.
AND THE WINNER IS???
Note: This is where the name "Asylum" was coined, and where Smash got the first non-admin custom title.

You've played the game, you've posted your posts. By now you know enough too answer the questions of the legions of newbies asking how to earn gil with inpunity. But there is something missing...
Are you tired of seeing the same old posts over and over again? "how do I get gil?", "Why wont my zabronian uglouk plant seed fit in the size 3 clay pot?", "Why is my moogle wearing a dress and cooking a candle lit dinner for me...?"
Why not try something different today?

I swear there are a bunch of cranky old men who post here. No this is not your personal forum. Yes others are allowed to express their opinions. New posters are not by definition bad posters. Old posters are not automatically good posters either. Open up your mind and feel the breeze go through.
Seriously, I would like to ask you all to please cut the new posters some slack. Give them time to adjust to all your varied and unusual personalities. Who knows, they might get to like you. You might even get to like them. Either way, new posters and new blood is good and will only help enliven the forum. This forum has grown too insular over the years.
What I am saying is please give the newer posters a chance to get their feet wet before you attempt to amputate them.
Thanks.

Ok you guys obviously don't like anyone new entering your forum and the FFXI people don't want to take their OOT conversations here and get bashed. Last night Illia and Pikko gave in and created a FFXI OOT forum. I don't like that solution. It means we will end up having to add OOT forums for every game, and will just fragment the community even more. So I came up with a new solution. This forum is now called Rants, and is specifically stated to be a no holds barred type of forum. Feel free to keep posting as you were. I created a new Out Of Topic forum for everyone else to use that will hopefully be a little more mint julipish, to quote Smash. Hopefully, that will keep everyone happy. Also, hopefully we will have enough posters to support two similar forums.

So Alla has agreed to entertain the possibility of letting us pick the new name for this forum. I say we brainstorm for some suggestions. Previously mentioned ones are:
Come Get Some, B***h (voted as a nay per Alla)
The Other Out of Topic
OOOT (Original OOT)
Queen Skeet's Forum
Any others?

It's like the little lemmings or whatever they're called. One jumps off a cliff and the rest follows.
People flow to the Asylum because there is nothing going on on the OOT board. The more people that go here, the more will join.
Asylum'z teh roXx0r!

I still say we should call it "Queen Skeet's Forum".

Skeet I'm getting pi[i][/i]ssed with all this searchability pharming.
It's "Skeet" this and "Skeet" that, "Skeet +1", "More searchability for Skeet"
Why does the word "Skeet" have toi keep appearing just so Skeet's searchability goes up.
Oh, wait a sec.
D'oh!

Soooo, they call that a "play" now eh?
And your sister is kinky. Last time I went to one of those "plays" there were only hookers in the audience. Just sayin'
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
